Graham should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Q15. What engine configuration did the Lancia Fulvia Coupé have?

Q. What was the wheelbase of the Messerschmitt (that three-wheeled, bubble car-like thing)?

Graham,

"Boxer" means "flat". The term "boxing" describes the horizontal movement of the pistons as in throwing a punch.

Geezers and Peter,

Ummm... 'flat' or 'boxer' ain't the answer I've got. Anyone care to give me proof before I give my answer?

Doesn't anyone know the wheelbase?

Q16. This is just a wild guess.
I think the length of the original Messerschmitt was 305 cm.
So, I think the wheelbase must have been something like 230 cm.

Eeeee, lad. Us Brits are a bit backward, see? We're still working in inches! Well... I am most of the time.

What is 230cm in inches anyone?

I'm not sure Graham, but I think 230 cm is about 90 to 91 inches.

>Q15. What engine configuration did the Lancia Fulvia Coupé have?

It was a "tight" V4. Tight because the V angle was a mere 12 degrees. This was the case for the all the Fulvia engines, from the 1.0 litre through to the fuel injected 1.6 version.

(way hay - the first question I can answer )

Andrew has got the question right - congrats

The wheelbase of the Messer was 80 inches - I checked in a knackered copy of a mag called Classic Cars from 1987.
